Why are you passionate about hormone health?
As a mental health therapist, my passion for hormone health stems from the deep connection between hormonal balance and mental well-being. Hormones such as cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, thyroid hormones, and insulin play crucial roles in mood regulation, stress response, energy levels, and cognitive function. I have seen firsthand how hormonal imbalances contribute to anxiety, depression, brain fog, fatigue, and mood swings in my clients. I have experienced personal benefits of addressing these imbalances through nutrition, lifestyle changes, and medical interventions, leading to improved mental health outcomes.Q6.
